Through him and with him and in him be all honour and glory unto thee, O God, Father Almighty, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, for ever and ever. Amen.

''Here say Pater noster with the priest, and add the following prayer for the sins of the whole church. It was revealed to the Saint that this devotion is most pleasing to God.''

Most tender Jesus, I offer to thee this prayer in union with the most perfect intention with which thou didst sanctify it in thy sacred Heart and enjoin it for our salvation; for the forgiveness of all our sins and the supply of all the defects caused by our frailty, our ignorance, or our fault, in opposition to thine irresistible almightiness, thine unsearchable wisdom, and thy free and superabounding goodness. Amen.
